Pirate Prince
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To codify an NPC for future RP.

- Role: Jaina Grayson is, on the surface, a successful businesswoman. Underneath that cover is a highly advanced (and very illegal) biot of mysterious origin. She has a number of unusual traits, including regenerating tissue, limited shapeshifting, and the ability to produce pheromones. Her unique form of vampirism forces her to live in social isolation, hiding her true nature from others.
- Permissions: N/A
- Links: N/A
- Age: 20+ standard years
- Model: Ishtar
- Appearance: Jaina's appearance is subject to change depending on which Form she is in. The exact specifications of each Form are outlined below:
- Civilian Form - The cover image is meant to represent this Form's appearance. The Civilian is highly intelligent, possessing access to all of the biot's higher knowledge. She would be considered an expert in several fields, but perhaps the most useful of them is her extended knowledge of sentient psychology, making her able to persuade and manipulate others. Reflexes and speed of this form are at the level of a normal human, though her strength is on par with that of a Wookiee. All repairs take a minimum of fifteen minutes to complete. Only basic martial arts programming is active. Pheromone production is unlocked.
- Warrior Form - The Warrior is a fearsome fighter with superhuman battle prowess. Taking on the appearance of a tall, muscular, fiery female Devaronian, her look is designed to inspire terror in her enemies. Her combat programming is fully active, giving her access to a wide variety of martial arts, though "higher knowledge" of subjects outside of combat is restricted as a result. Reflexes, speed, and strength are increased by a factor of four, and electrical durability is increased by a factor of five. This form repairs incredibly fast, in a matter of minutes.
- Serpent Form - The Serpent is capable of taking on a malleable, shapeless near-liquid form, enabling her to move through small spaces with ease. Her appearance is that of a slender blonde Human female wearing a skintight silver suit. She can also create weapons from her own body, though as it is intended for stealth situations, she will only fight while in this Form if she has no other options. Her regeneration rate is as fast as the Warrior's. Reflexes and speed are six times faster than normal, though strength remains at that of a regular human. Only melee combat databases are active.
- Pilot Form - The Pilot has sole access to the piloting database, along with all the tricks of a veteran starfighter pilot, including a willingness to be more daring in her flight patterns. Her form is that of a purple-skinned female Twi'lek, typically dressed in spacer leathers. Reflexes, speed, and strength are at the level of a normal human. Most repairs require a minimum of five minutes to complete. Only basic hand-to-hand combat programming is active.
- Siren Form - With the appearance of a mythological mermaid, the Siren is the only form capable of submersion in water. Configured to allow her to swim and dive without triggering her weakness, she can survive for some time underwater without her cells swelling. However, after a period of about thirty minutes, she will lose this protection and have no choice but to get out of the water and repair herself. Reflexes and speed are six times faster than normal, while strength and electrical durability are at the level of a normal human. All repairs require fifteen minutes to complete. No combat programming is active; trying to fight while in this form is ill-advised.
SOCIAL INFORMATION
- Name: Jaina Grayson
- Loyalties: Herself
- Notable Equipment:
- Disruptors
- Stun Weaponry
- Melee
- Assorted
- Ship
- The Scarlet Knight, a T-50H Tri-Wing "Hurricane" Starfighter
- Skills:
- Features typical droid sensors, night vision, and enhanced hearing.
- Biot tissue composed of DNA from Shi’ido, Vong Masquers, Gen'Dai, and the Arch Psy-Pire.
- Shi’ido, Masquer, and Gen'Dai DNA grants the biot regenerative and limited shapeshifting capabilities, including the ability to mimic clothing.
- Psy-Pire DNA gives the biot a vampiric source of nourishment, feeding on psychic energies to sustain itself.
- Superhuman speed, strength, and reflexes.
- Capable of using knowledge cartridges to increase knowledge in various areas.
- Force-resistant (though not immune).
- Can produce pheromones.
- Personality: Jaina is a uniquely independent biot. For more than twenty years, she has existed only for her own sake, making a life for herself and finding success as a business owner. Yet despite her freedom, she is haunted by the mistake which led to her being dishonorably discharged from her master's service... and she often wonders if, without someone or something to serve, she has no real purpose.
- Weapon of Choice: Can use any type of weapon in line with her programming, especially when in Combat Form.
- Combat Function: Her Combat Form is highly diverse in its capabilities, ranging from a variety of martial arts styles, archery, marksmanship, fencing, and even the lightsaber forms. Outside of her Combat Form, however, she is much more limited, often reduced to fighting hand-to-hand, or potentially lacking any combat programming at all.
- Regeneration: The biot can regenerate its flesh even if most of it is destroyed, regrowing lost limbs and tissue. As long as 10% of it remains intact, it will be able to fully regenerate itself within a few hours. To kill it for good, its brain must be completely destroyed. Its rate of regeneration is dependent on its form.
- Mage Killer: Specialized glands on its body based off of research into ysalimiri Force-canceling bubbles render it highly resistant to telekinesis and mental attacks, though not immune.
- Superhuman: The biot possesses great strength, speed, and reflexes far beyond that of a normal human, although the level of each depends on which form it is using.
- Changeling: The biot has shapeshifting capabilities, but these are currently limited to five pre-programmed human forms, each with their own limitations. See the Appearance section for more info on each of these forms.
- Learning and Adapting: The biot is capable of learning new skills and acquiring knowledge, whether through experience or the use of knowledge cartridges. However, both combat programming and "higher knowledge" pertaining to specialized fields is restricted depending on which form the biot is using.
- Even the Smallest Body Functions: The biot's internal structures are designed to imitate that of a human. It mimics them so well that most medical scanners will be fooled. It can also pass some medical testing, such as blood tests, by mimicking the blood of a human.
- Pheromones: The biot can artificially produce pheromones which humans and near-humans find appealing. This is primarily for the purpose of luring prey and its use is dependent on which form the biot is operating in.
- Extreme Temperatures: Attacking it with certain weapons that utilize heat (such as lightsabers) or cold (cryo weapons) or placing it in an extreme temperature environment will cause it to eventually shut down.
- Corrosives: Acid will eat away at its tissues before it has a chance to regenerate, causing severe damage.
- Lightning/Ion: While it has some resistances to lightning and ion energy, prolonged exposure will damage it to the point of shutdown.
- Microwave: Will severely slow down regeneration and movement speed, as well as shutting down combat databases.
- Magnets: Curious interactions with the flesh of the biot causes it to be drawn like metal to high intensity magnetic surfaces, effectively immobilizing it.
- Water: While a puddle will not harm it, dropping the biot into a large body of water will cause its cells to swell, eventually reducing it to an amoeba-like state. This can be avoided (for a short time) if configured to the Siren Form.
- Salt: Causes the biot's cells to shrivel upon exposure, resulting in a phobia of even common table salt.
- Bacta: Exposure to bacta will disable the biot's regeneration and superhuman attributes for three minutes.
- Sonic: If it sustains more than one hit (or a single sustained direct hit) from sonic weaponry, it will shut down due to overheating.
- Silver: Impaling it with pure silver will impede its ability to regenerate until the silver is removed.
- Vong Origins: The biot's tech is based on Vong biots, and it therefore possesses their weaknesses, including:
- Bafforr Pollen: Will force the biot's body into a semi-liquid state with slowed down movement.
- Unmaskers: Cause the biot's body to harden like stone, rendering it immobile.
- Mode Locked: The biot can shift into six different forms to suit the needs of any given situation, but these each harbor drawbacks as well as benefits. It takes roughly three minutes to transition between these forms, and during that period the biot is rendered immobile and vulnerable. See the Description section for more info on each form.
- Must Feed: It must feed on "psychic energies" (basically a form of Force essence in the form of memories) at least once every five days in order to survive. Its ability to feed is not restricted by its form, nor is it required to kill its prey in order to be sufficiently nourished. Depending on how much activity it engages in, such as transforming from one form to another or sustaining significant damage, they may need to feed sooner than that. Should it fail to procure fresh energies before it runs out, it will become immobile and eventually shut down.
- Creepy: Those who are inclined to be suspicious will notice that the biot still seems slightly off, exhibiting behaviors that are not quite human.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
Jaina is a copy of a copy. She does not remember anything from before her creation, when her body was formed from the separated matter of another biot. Said biot - she was called Bithia - went away not long after, leaving her "sister" with the man who was to be her master.
He was a professor of history. He also dabbled in archaeology. Later, he would become a Jedi and serve on the Silver Council. Eventually he would die on Tython. But before all that, he brought Jaina with him to defend his homeworld, Lao-mon, from the Mawites. Jaina will never forget that day, the battle, the viciousness of their foes. One of them was going to kill her master. She had to stop them. In her hand was a disruptor, scavenged from a corpse. She raised the barrel, squeezed the trigger...
... and killed her master's father.
It was a mistake. The gun misfired, or her programming malfunctioned. She didn't know which. Never figured out what went wrong. But as the ashes fell and the Maw won, unleashing a genocide upon his species, her master wouldn't look at her. She tried to apologize, to make it up to him, but it was useless. He couldn't stand her presence anymore. Finally, he told her to leave and never come back.
For the first few years of her exile, she wandered from place to place, learning about the galaxy. She soon learned that people were afraid of her, finding her strange and uncanny. Her feeding habits didn't help matters. When she discovered a community of vampires on the planet Necropolis, she decided to settle there. They didn't fully accept her, but they didn't bother her either. She opened up a business designed to cater to frivolous elites, using it as a cover to disguise her feeding. But after so many years of building this life for herself, she has grown restless, wanting more than to just exist...
